I went after the westbound Job 1 on Tuesday with a couple of locations in mind, the trestle over Big Wilson Stream being one of them. Now I know, a horrible choice for a morning westbound, but I now have photo evidence of that. The lighting issue aside, I had a great time hiking in here despite getting my feet wet, and when I walked up to one of the abutments towering over the trees around me it really put it into perspective. At 780 ft long it is about 2/3 the length of Onawa Trestle, and nearly as tall. Luck was on my side as I had a late start, its about 3.5 hrs for me to get into Greenville plus the time it takes to make the trek into the woods. Knowing I was cutting it close I made good time heading up the embankment to a text message they had stopped at Mile 28 and would be on the move momentarily. That short stop is what kept me from watching the train pass overhead from the Stream below. At 09:45 Job 1 with a pair of blue barns leading crossed the trestle with a respectable train in tow. Hopefully CP can put some westbounds through here in the afternoon so I can do this one over from the other side, but it will take a good trimming.
The yellow lines looked like they were delivering autumn color from one side of the street to the other and then down the hill. (The overhead lines were temporarily covered to protect them from construction damage during a water main replacement project, which is also why the tree trunks are surrounded with wooden fences.)

This is my 7 year old grandson concentrating on a overhead slam while competing in a tennis match at summer camp. His tongue action proved to be very helpful!!
no tornado, just a roof replacement. not sure which is worse....the sound of your house being torn apart or the bill. ok, the bill.
Taken on the wonderful Island of Lunga where there is a breeding colony of 10,000 Puffins, plus lots of other amazing seabirds.
Puffins do fly very fast, so not the easiest bird to capture in flight.
Thankfully it was a lovey sunny day on the island allowing for a fast shutter speed and low ISO. Haven't managed a shot of a Puffin flying over my head before!

In the Museum of Liverpool Life. Yet another Liverpool World's first was the electric overhead railway...sadly it succumbed to WW2 bombs and was repaired but eventually could not be saved. This carriage is so nostalgic...

And now something completely different than my normal nature images...
I was capturing birds by the lakeshore a couple of summers ago and this helicopter flew right over my head!
I had fun processing it as a graphic. Enjoy!
...of course, a chase of the aforementioned shuttle ensued. In between shots are still in the works, but the one other location I knew I wanted was at the station at Beverly Shores. This is my personal favorite location on the whole railroad, but that's definitely not saying anything special - everyone loves the vintage station here. While I initially planned on getting a more simple shot of them passing the station, something was just telling me to pass it up. So, into the station I went.
Here we are, taking a peer out of the window to see not only the shuttle, but a glimpse at some early construction of the Double Tracking project as well. A relatively recently placed silt fence takes up much the foreground, while the train is bracketed by two recently erected poles that will support the overhead electric for the second main.
It's no secret I like to avoid crowds, and as this train was nearing, a look outside revealed a rather large group of folks that were following this move themselves, much to my surprise. No one went into the station though, so I was in and out without a trace. BUT as my luck would have it, trying to continue the chase would be halted as I was the one person with a camera that a passerby could stop and ask why everyone was out taking pictures of this train. GO figure. I was still happy to nab them where I did though!
Another one from New Year's Eve, last year. I don't remember this surfer's name, but the wave's purdy.
